DDoS From 4chan Hits MPAA and Anti-Piracy Website

Posted by Soulskill on from the wonder-how-much-piracy-went-unaddressed-while-they-were-down dept.

ACKyushu writes "Say what you like about 4chan; when they want something done, it gets done. Following a call to arms yesterday, the masses inhabiting the anonymous 4chan boards have carried out a huge assault on a pair of anti-piracy enemies. The website of Aiplex Software, the anti-piracy outfit which has been DDoSing torrent sites recently, fell victim to a DDoS itself. They were joined in the Internet wasteland by the MPAA's website, which also fell to a huge and sustained attack."

    Well, that's rather interesting... when I went to the mpaa.org site, it immediately got stopped by NoScript; it was trying to redirect me to a URL in the form www.mpaa.org/my.ip.add.ress

    Put on your tinfoil hats, everyone.
